Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Pip Install

Open WebUI Version

0.6.15

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 22.04

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Open WebUI to keep functioning and throw an error

Actual Behavior

Open WebUI fully hangs for an extended period of time (minutes/longer)

Steps to Reproduce

Some projects that provide openAI compatible API endpoints do not support all the endpoints that openAI does. While it could be argued that the projects should add the endpoints, I don't think open webui should become fully unresponsive after saving settings pointing it at one of these endpoints.

As is, using such a project and setting it up in open webUI causes the application to fully hang, and log nothing but what can be seen below which also makes it impossible to change the settings again until the application starts responding again, which takes a couple of minutes

Examples of some projects that will trigger this issue:
https://github.com/devnen/Dia-TTS-Server

Unable to reproduce, you should be able to configure AIOHTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT.
